How to generate the captcha token with the CLI?

[HeraldCoupe]

Sorry if I'm being dim but I need some help with the new CLI please.
I've installed v0.17 and I've read the documentation but I can't figure out how to generate the captcha token.
Please can you give me some advice on the syntax of the command to do this?

I thought its quite clear with the big blue box in https://bimmer-connected.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html, forwarding to https://bimmer-connected.readthedocs.io/en/stable/captcha.html and then you have to select your region.

If you have suggestions to make this easier to understand, please let me know.

I'm sorry but I've obviously not explained the problem well enough. I'll start again.

I've updated Bimmerconnected to v0.17.

Please correct me if I'm wrong or have missed something but at the top of https://bimmer-connected.readthedocs.io/en/stable/captcha.html#using-the-cli it states that 'The first login requires a captcha to be solved.' but there is no example of how to run a 'first login' to generate the token.

Any help is much appreciated.

Ah, I see where you are stuck. I'll try to think of a way to make it clearer.

For now, do the 3 red steps in the screenshot below help you?

[HeraldCoupe]

Thank you so much. I feel a bit foolish because I thought the screen to generate the captcha was a screenshot. I didn't know I needed to click in the box to generate the token.

I then struggled with step 2 but I'm pretty sure that's because I wasn't quick enough (I think the token expires quickly) But once I figured it out it worked and subsequent logins (step 3) are working perfectly.

Thanks again for your help and hard work in getting Bimmer Connected working again.

Great if it works now!

Would replacing the submit button with "validate captcha and generate token" help?

[HeraldCoupe]

I think that all you need to do is include the line "Click in the 'I am human' checkbox and press Submit to generate the captcha token".
